Easter Bunny Nails!

I've heard that the Easter Bunny provides an essential service and hope that he made it to your home this morning, sharing a little Easter joy!  He skipped our house (we didn't need all any chocolate with all the home cooking and baking going on!) but was here on my nails and in spirit!

I went with another skittle mani for this base; starting at thumb and going clockwise, used Pahlish Ready or Yacht, Girly Bits Peep Calm and Carry On, Great Lakes Lacquer If You Swatch It, They Will Come, Pahlish Cotton Tail and Girly Bits Blossom Sauce.  The Girly Bits polishes are pretty opaque so only needed two coats; the rest needed three either to reach opaque or had to stroke the tips a little bit more to cover.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with images from MoYou London Festive Collection-09 (thumb, index and middle), Apipila L26 (ring), UberChic UC Yay Spring! (words on ring) and UberChic UC Welcome Spring (pinky) using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Using CND Pink Taffy and a brush or dotter, added a pop of colour where you see it!

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Hope you're having a great weekend and thanks for looking!

Happy Easter!

Easter will be here before we know it so I thought I'd share another Easter mani to hopefully get them all shared by the holiday, not like all my snowflake, Valentine's Day and Christmas mani's that I did but didn't get around to sharing!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Pahlish Sunny Side test batch, three coats, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Applied stamper decals using images from Creative Shop 125 (index), Moyra 24 Primavera (middle), MoYou Festive 09 (ring chick), Messy Mansion MM36 (pinky), then stamped words from one of the UC plates (didn't mark it down but they were the smallest words I could find and they barely fit!) and a butterfly on the middle using MoYou Festive 58.  Did layer stamping on the thumb using an image from Dixie Plates Spring 02.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

More Easter Nails!

Here's another Easter mani!  I didn't do many Easter nails this year; I just didn't find that many images and if I did, they didn't interest me for some reason.  Makers, I think we need more Easter images!  And St. Patrick's Day!  We have enough Christmas and Valentines but I think these two holidays are lacking.  Anyway, here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of skittles; starting at thumb and going clockwise, Music City Beauty Time After Time (March 2019 PPU), Pahlish Rainbow Dash, Different Dimension Mystery Proto 68, Great Lakes Lacquer The Last Sliver of Sun and Pahlish Fluttershy.  While I absolutely love each and every one of these, my favourites were Music City Beauty Time After Time and Pahlish Rainbow Dash.  One, so glad I just got it and the other, what took me so long to wear it??  And how did I luck out with that Different Dimension mystery polish???  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

After making a few stamper decals using images, applied them from Creative Shop 60 (thumb), Creative Shop 123 (index and pinky), Dixie Plates Easter (middle) and MoYou Festive-09 (ring).  I'm not sure why the thumb image fill in picked up the outline and smeared it; I always left my stamped images sit for at least 24 hours before filling it but it happened anyway.  I wonder if its too much polish on the brush?  I'll have to try to figure out why....any ideas?  Applied KBShimmer Clearly on Top of all the decals.

I also added the words on the thumb using Dixie Plates Easter and Moyra 24.

After the topcoat had dried, applied some clear to the index finger and added loose flocking powder.

Easter Nails!

Happy Easter!  Hopefully you had a good Easter weekend!  My weekend was pretty busy but I was able to do these nails over the weekend and wore them all weekend, until last night anyway.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with two coats of Barielle Green With Envy, shown with no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using an image from Lilac's A08 using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Shadow stamped accent nail using an image from MoYou Festive 09 using MdU 11 and FunkyFingers Dark Knight.

I had made 4 stamper decals for the lilies using another image from Lilac's A08.  Stamped each of them on a clear stamper, painted, applied sticky base to nails then stamped decals right onto nails once sticky base was tacky/dry to the touch.  Love this method; really makes stamper decals so much easier and faster with a lot less planning ahead!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  Unfortunately, I nicked my middle finger decal with my other hand so it smeared; I hand painted the outline best as I could and tried to save it so I didn't have to redo everything.  Not perfect, but I've done worse!

Added a few dots on accent and lilies for colour and interest.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Easter!!!

Added words to ring using UberChic UC Yay Spring.

Fixed Garfield's eyes; maybe he had pupils, but I couldn't see them!  But he looks a little bug eyed now lol!

Hopefully you had a fabulous weekend; thanks for looking!

Digit-al Dozen Does Texture; Day 4

I'm a day late getting this post up...the stat holiday today just means cramming the same amount of weekly work into 4 days versus doing it in 5....just longer hours all week for me....by the time I got home yesterday, I was just too tired to do the post!  Sometimes, it seems hardly worth taking the day off.....then, today, I woke up not feeling the best.....anywayyyy, enough excuses lol..... we are still on texture week for Digit-al Dozen; here's the mani I came up with for Day 4!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Vampire is Buff on all fingers except accent, which is L'Oreal The Palace Life, topped with SV.  

Stamped using MoYou Festive-14 (pinky), W212 (thumb), W105 (index) and MoYou Festive-09 (middle and ring).  Stamping polishes are white Konad, black, bubble blue and avocado FUN, Mundo de Unas 15 and 16.

W212

Using assortment of jelly polishes (L'Oreal Miss Pixie, L'Oreal Mango Mamma, OPI I'm Never Amberrassed, and OPI Don't Violet Me Down), coloured eggs on index finger.

Added dots using texture polishes; Sinful Ruby Mine, Nicole by OPI Lilac Gumdrops, Nicole by OPI Candy is Dandy and Kiko 643.

I was really trying to leave big dollops of the texture polish to get a raised look...here's a close up to show how much!

Decided to outline the eggs on the index using Sinful Ruby Mine.  

Added flocking powder on index, middle and ring fingers.  

Added a few more dots on middle to finish.  Left like this; no topcoat on any nails.

Here's the other ladies Day 4 mani's!
